Bitten By The Bug Challenge and a blog hop

This blog candy is now closed. Thank you for playing!

Hi everyone! Sure hope you had a wonderful weekend, and now it's to deal with another Monday! There is one bright spot in Monday, and that's because it's time to reveal the new Bitten By The Bug challenge. And this week, we're doing something a little different. We're having a blog hop with some blog candy up for grabs!! Fun stuff, huh??!! So read all the way to the end of this post for details.

This weeks challenge was to use any cut from the Doodlecharms cartridge, but we had to use the border cut. I chose the watermelons, just cause I think they're so darned cute! I like the long cards, but don't make them very often. This challenge was perfect for utilizing that shape.

The paper is Dreamy 2 by My Minds Eye, and the cardstock is Bazzill. I added a bow with a Prima flower and a Making Memories brads, and the book plate was cut with my Fabulous Finds cartridge.

Now for the blog candy details. Be sure and leave a comment on this post for a chance to win this Sizzix die (plus a few other little goodies thrown in). If you don't have a Sizzix machine, you can use it in your Cuttlebug. Just don't use your A plate. Put the Sizzix die with your paper inbetween the two B plates and run it through your Cuttlebug and voila! When you're done here, go visit Nikki Duey's blog. She's got some candy waiting for you too! And be sure and check out her awesome creations while you're there. Nikki's work with the Cricut and papercrafting is just unbelievable! Her work is even featured in the infomercial you see all the time on TV!! Plus she's got some WICKED stamping skills! Can you tell I'm a huge fan?? :) I will use random.org to choose a winner Wednesday evening.

That's it for today! Don't forget to visit Bitten By The Bugand play along with our challenge this week. Thanks for coming by to see me today, and I hope to see you back again soon! HUGS

Sharon, my Friend, you have a true gift of being able to not only inspire me but to make me smile whenever I come here! I love, love, love those watermelons! I just can't get over how you "put this here and that there" on your creations. Your prize is FABULOUS!

I love your papers for the challenge this time and I am even lucky enough to have the "thanks a melon" stamp. Hope you don't mind if I lift your card. This is also my first time to your blog and I have to tell you, I love it. It has gone into my favorites.

I LOVE your card and for Mother's Day I am getting a Cuttlebug with the dots folder that you used! I can't wait! I'm going to scraplift this card (along with a couple others I've seen) after Mother's Day arrives and I get my new toy! Thanks for the inspiration. I love the birds on your blog....addorable!

Hi Sharon,It does not look like this blog candy is closed yet, even though you said a winner would be chosen on Wednesday. I would love to win that angel die. Too cute...just like your cards. Linda S. in NE
